Landscape Architecture

Landscape architecture is the planning, design and management of spaces for nature and people. Specialise in ecology or planning alongside broad training in landscape theories and concepts as part of this five-year integrated masters course, which includes one year working in a professional landscape practice.

From the smallest garden, to large-scale urban development and rewilded country estates, landscape architecture embraces all aspects of the science, planning, design, creation and management of urban and rural environments.

This integrated, five-year masters degree includes a built-in year in practice.

You’ll study with experts specialising in a wide range of landscape disciplines, so wherever your interests lie – from planting design to national parks – we have academics who can support your professional ambitions.

You’ll receive broad training in landscape theories and creative techniques and choose whether to specialise in ecology or planning. And in year four, you’ll experience what it’s like to be a professional, and start thinking about the type of practice you aspire to work in.

Your final year helps to consolidate your skills and knowledge and culminates with a creative design project, tailored to your personal and professional interests. You’ll finish your degree by showing your work to prospective employers at our end of year exhibition.
